Title Pages: Add bigger thumbnails to cast lists on title pages

Hey IMDb, love the website. In regards to the "Full Cast and Crew" section you see when you search a movie or a show, I was hoping you could make the thumbnails of the actors/actresses a bit bigger so we could actually see them. It makes it easier to identify actors from a film if you could see their pictures clearer beside their names instead of clicking on each name individually. It's pointless putting tiny thumbnail pictures beside each of the names if its too small to help you identify them.

If you hover over a name they bring up a box with Primary Name and StarMeter in the Header, with the Headshot (about 4x the linear dimensions of the one in the filmography), Company, Profession, Known For, and Also Known As in the body. Obviously any item that they have no data for is suppressed, except the headshot which is replaced by the dummy shot.

They do the same for the Titles in a Name page filmography. In this case it shows the Title, MovieMeter and Country/Rating/Length in the Header, with the Poster, Genre, Summary, Production Companies, Director, Writers and Producers in the body. It there are more than will fit (3 or4) in any section they add the phrase "and x others".

This is an excellent feature, and since it is already coded it should be relatively simple to adapt to the basic pages.

Yeah sometimes I'll need to look through someone's filmography to know exactly which film I've seen them in but only last night I had to open up a couple of actor's entries where the summary (and perhaps a larger picture) would have made the penny drop.

I'd love to see bigger pictures of cast and crew in the list you see in a regular web browser. The current size makes it closeto impossible to distinguish faces - I have a good eyesight.
Thanks for considering.

What would make IMDB even better?Love IMDB . but i often find myself with an image of a actor or somebody else in my mind. I want to find out who they are. I go to film cast lists and see all those thumbnails. I have to open each entry before I can see the face. Unless I manually zoom the page which is drag as it makes navigation difficult) I would love it if, when just hovering over a thumbnail, a pop up would appear - say of double / triple size of the thumbnail so I can quickly see if that is face I'm looking for. Coding for this should be easy

I use the iPad app more than the desktop site because its easier to see the actors pictures on the iPad app. Any way to make the pics bigger in the site for desktop? If not, I would like to suggest it for future development.

When viewing cast members of a film, the thumbnail photos are way too small. This is problematic when searching for a particular actor/actress as it is a hassle to fully open every bio to verify the photo. A hover/enlarge feature is needed for cast photo thumbnails.

How to I send a feature request to IMDB. It is on the size of the thumbnails. You can't see who is actually on them. I amazes me that they have had them so small for all these years. It isn't practical.

You can't identify people on those images. The list of cast have images so small that you can't make out who is on them.

Hello, I love what you've done with the mobile version, however, when I log on to see things from a computer or desktop, I notice that all the icons and pictures are way too small. This happens when you go a results page, or just a movie cast page, you cannot see who is in the picture. Even when I zoom in manually the pictures just become pixelated. Is there something that can be done with the website version. Just revamping it so that everything is bigger?

I use IMDB to look up actors all the time (and have for years), but sometimes do not know their name, so I rely on the actor's images -- but they are too small! I would really appreciate it if either the actor's images were significantly increased in size, or an option to increase their size temporarily (if the size messes with the rest of the content on the page).

I want a way to scan through cast photos for a show or movie at a size where I can clearly recognize the faces so I can identify whichever cast I can member I'm looking for by sight.

Probably 80% of the time I come to IMDB I'm checking to see if an actor or actress that I've just seen in something is also in another movie or show that I recall.

In that situation, I rarely know the name of the actor or actress. But the only photos are these tiny thumbnails, and to actually see clearly who it is I have to click to their individual page. In a series like Orange is the New Black, with pages and pages of actors, that's just too time consuming, and it makes the site barely usable for what I'm sure is a very common purpose. If there were an option to view them slightly larger, that would help soooooo much.

I wanted to suggest you if you could make the cast pictures bigger. It is really hard to recognize people when their pictures are so small. I have a big screen and even though I have zoomed it to 150%, they are still too small.

I've tried different browsers, but I typically use Chrome, and the pictures next to an actor's listing in the cast are so tiny you can hardly see their face. Please don't tell me the site hasn't changed things lately, because that is a copout. WHEN it took place is irrelevant. This is a SITE issue, not a user issue. It's frustrating when a concern is voiced and you attempt to blame us.

I cannot give you a screenshot because the only option this laptop gives me is a PDF which does not give an accurate representation of what I am seeing.

Often when looking up actors for a particular show I don't know the character name and end up searching by thumbnail image. Slightly larger thumbnails of slightly higher resolution would make it much easier. Thanks for considering. I am a huge fan of imdb and have been for many years. Thanks for doing what you do.
